Mysterious Radio Signals Came From Microwave Oven, Not Outer Space

Sometimes, the powerful radio bursts detected by our telescopes have the look ofalien beacons, or other strange astronomical phenomena. Other times, they’re caused by scientists reheating coffee.

The latter happens to be the case when it comes to the origin of mysterious radio signals known as perytons. For years, astronomers at theParkes Observatoryin Australia have puzzled over these brief but intense bursts, which in some ways appeared to emanate from deep space. But unlike thefast radio burstswe’ve also heard about recently, researchers knew that perytons were actually coming from somewhere nearby, because they would simultaneously show up in multiple viewing fields rather than emanating from a single source.
